Depending on the volume of papers, a sturdy polypocket can do wonders sometimes. May vary group to group.

Today and yesterday Year 10 have been doing simultaneous equations starting with practicing adding and subracting 2 equations before moving on to figuring out which they should use to get only 1 term then solve.

Is there anyone who teaches AQA GCSE maths who would be willing to give me a whistle stop tour of what’s available exam paper support wise? I know Edexcel’s stuff inside out but want to support ECTs who are teaching AQA with where to find things for year 11!

Last percentages lesson for this year 9 group!
Finding the original - always a fan favourite to get wrong on every test as they haven't read the question.

The Sequencing of Averages Hi folks!

Hi everyone, this week's blog is the last for a little bit thanks to a department absence, but they will return soon enough! Enjoy

What is the question that these models are part of the answer for? 8 partially-complete area models

Factorise 168 + 273x Modelled using prime factor tiles from Mathsbot

Y8 were factorising today. First we worked backwards from some area models, and then used prime factor tiles to model some harder examples. #MathsToday

Really enjoyed these multiple choice transformations of graphs questions from @piximaths.bsky.social
Doesn't have any reflection questions but easy enough to solve.

#mathstoday #weeklywins for the second lesson in a row, y9 were presented with something that they said looks scary, but smashed it within a lesson. Today we were dividing algebraic expressions, and we got as far as dividing expressions with indices. I have even had a couple say they love algebra!

#Mathstoday

Today year 11 explored transformations of graphs.

Right folks, time for some #WeeklyWins

• Lovely presentation evening last night, even if it meant getting home after 10 😂

• 2nd class in a row I've been pleasantly surprised how they dealt with percentage multipliers...maybe I'm good at this!

• All start of term data and admin deadlines met 🥳

New Kickstarter just launched - my first solo project!

I will say 'higher value' helps knock out the negative misconception if you use vertical number lines, but also fair

It’s not quite what @dwekselgreene.bsky.social is doing, but inspired by a general idea, put these together for expanding and collecting like terms #MathsToday #ukmathsteachers

Averages Hi folks!

Hey folks

The language of maths blogs return for Term 3, kicking off with a series on averages!

Mine uses one factorial, but then only 4 ops and brackets after that

I won't spoil it, but there's at least one method that's pure KS3 level, albeit a way you wouldn't conventionally go for at first. But no massively weird things needed

Nah, just messing with ya, I was hoping the wink emoji gave it away haha

May also have 3 but don't wanna spoil the thread haha, showing off once is enough 😂

Glad SOMEONE thinks so (@ecrmaths.bsky.social) 😉

Regardless, thanks for raining on my parade 😢😉😂

I read the rules as all must be used (similar to the original four 4s)

I think 1 can be 2 × (0! + 2) ÷ 6?

I made a thing!

Had a weird dream about factoring last night...

x², 6x and -16 are three terms. You can choose any pair or all three and it will factorise.

a) x² + 6x
b) 6x - 16
c) x² - 16
d) x² + 6x - 16
